Symbol appearance

When I insert a note, its head has a crossed shape, an unwanted color, a stem in the wrong direction or any other attribute I do not expect. Why?

Open the palette that define note appearance ("Windows" menu) and deselect the currently activated icons.

When I insert a note, an accidental (sharp, flat, etc) is related to the note. Why?

Open the palette that define accidental ("Windows" menu) and deselect the currently activated accidental.

Is there an easy way to force an entire piece to the default accidental?

Select all the score then apply Edit>Appearance>General>Preferred accidental: auto
